I'm literally shaking over the misogyny of the above comment. Try to be a little bit more sensitive for my emotions, OK?

Would you please stop with the partisan hate? Im not a liberal, yet i still find virtually every post made in the last 3 months with the most stupidly myopic slander of the left/ right annoying the shit out of me. You see, i try to place myself in other peoples position to get a sense of what they are thinking; it's called empathy. But when i hear garbage like this, i feel revolted. Like i just stuck my head in a toilet full of diarrhea, i just instinctively pull away.
Stop viewing things from a left/right, republican/democrat, us/them lens.

Empathy turns winners into losers. It's bad for everyone who wants to be great. Gets in the way. Who cares what others are thinking? As long as you can beat them, they don't matter. Didn't you read Enders Game? Everything was going just fine until The Perfect Weapon went and made a connection with the enemy and then before you know it Earth is being run by a psychopath and the universe is full of buggers. Ender never won a fight again after that. Turned into a super liberal pussy talking at funerals and shit.

So fuck empathy. All it does is spawn shitty sequels. Like The Matrix! Fuck. Neo should have stopped once he became Superman and won. But noooo he had to keep going, trying to "understand" the machine, and how did that turn out? Shitty cg fights, blather by an old white dude with an old white beard and, of course, symbolic crucifixion. Laaaaaame.

You know who never showed any fucking empathy? Dirty Harry. That fucking legend. He didn't give a SHIT about those punks or why they became criminals or how being products of a generational system of underprivilege gave them no choice but to turn to a life outside of the law. Fuck no. Fuck em. Scum.

Be less like Ender, more like Dirty Harry.

Empathy is just another word for weakness.

The truth holds many things, pain is one of them - pain comes from accepting the state of things, what others did to you and what you are doing to others. Ignorance is bliss, wisdom brings sorrow.

CIA Director Mike Pompeo called Julian Assange and his associates “demons” and accused WikiLeaks of siding with the world’s dictators and endangering the security of the “free world” with the help of states like Russia.

"

The CIA director rejected Assange’s reasoning that WikiLeaks had the right to publish documents that WikiLeaks obtained, arguing that the right to free speech does not apply to non-Americans.

“Julian Assange has no First Amendment freedoms,” Pompeo said. “He’s sitting in an embassy in London. He’s not a US citizen.”

The rest was less-than-subtle satire.

What you provided is another soliloquizing ambiguous thread same like RT, standardized copy and paste advertising media, so-called "discussion" or "opinion" nowadays.
